About this listen
In this honest and open account of life with her PDA daughter, Sasha, Steph Curtis reveals the everyday struggles and explores the milestones of raising a child diagnosed with Pathological Demand Avoidance. This book guides you through the Curtis family's 'lightbulb moment' of recognising Sasha's PDA profile following her autism diagnosis at the age of two, their experiences of various education settings and attempts to access support, everyday life at home and relationships with family and friends.
Bursting with practical takeaways and advice from creating personal profiles for your child to help them transition through schools and other settings to the reasonable adjustments you can actually ask for to help make life easier for your PDA child.
With unique insights from Sasha's father, sister, and Sasha herself, this book offers insider knowledge, understanding and advice from one family to another. It would also be helpful for those in education, healthcare or other settings to gain a better understanding of Pathological Demand Avoidance.

A must read if your female child is ASD/PDA
I felt like I was listening to someone living my life at a time when I have been feeling very alone. Thank you Steph for having the courage to write/record this book. I am going to listen to this again and again and recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about ASD/PDA, especially in girls.

Lived experience
There are some repetitive parts but I think that was to make a point. While based in the UK I found it extremely relatable to an Australian context. I am glad to see this book adding to our knowledge of autism and PDA.

Honest, unapologetic and useful
So many good things to say about this book. The honesty and determination of Steph and her family has always shone through. It was lovely to read more about them and their journey in life. The advice given was straightforward and useful. I’m grateful for the time given to get the message about PDA out there.

what stood out the most was how relateable most traits were to my child.
nothing to dislike, it was very enjoyable informative and good to learn more about PDA and ODD from another parent
